I've been watching them since they were up for £80 - very tempted but trying to resist!

Not eBay but at a boot sale I picked this up ,house builder in Surrey in 1956

 

According to the bank of England the most expensive house in 1956 @ £5615 should be £128,624 in 2016 so that shows how much house prices have risen in 60 years

Yes definitely. On the Favorit not only do the instruments have PAL on them so dp all the light lenses. Nice find.

 

PAL were the state owned combine that supplied auto-electrics to all the Czechoslovakian (and later Czech and Slovakian) motorised transport manufacturers from Jawa to Tatra. They still exist as PMP PAL and are now owned by Ashok Pirimal of India (I don't think its the same Ashok who own Optare and continues with the well known plughole logo though).

 

PMP PAL now supply Nissan, Renault, Suzuki, Mercedes Benz, Smart, VW, John Deere as well as their old mukkas Skoda.

That's gorgeous. I love things like that. It's amazing how little house layouts and proportions changed from the mid-50s to the mid 90's, then houses started to be properly crammed in on plots.

 

I have all the brochures for houses on my parents' estate since construction began in 1986.

[puddlethumper]

I had them on a Ventora I bought in 79. Kind of cool. Then.

Aye, a popular cheap mod in the late 70s.

 

I remember reading a Street Machine magazine article (possibly May 1980) where they fitted a jack-up kit to the white "Minder" Mk2 Escort 1600 Sport and took before-and-after times for swerving round a line of cones. The times were pretty much the same in the end but the handling felt absolutely shit with the jack-up kit fitted.

A bloke in our town caused absolute devastation with a PC Cresta modded like that......Can't remember if it was V8'd or anything but he lost control going down a big hill.

Found a very blurry pic of the Escort from the magazine.

He didn't have a DBA Avimax II ?

[mercrocker]

I think the only additional cockpit fitting would have been an inclinometer.....

I have 'several schillings' parked perilously in my Amazon a/c.

Brilliant but it doesn't look like it was actually produced. Google Books shows the original source for that piece as the October 1962 issue of Popular Science and companycheck.co.uk shows that Carquad Limited was incorporated in January 1970 and is dissolved. That is the total extent of information that I can find about it.

.... these guys increased the 'folding' quotient by 100% & disposed of the need for a house wall....

I've never understood how you use a hand-powered drill press.

 

Hand drills, breast drills, push drills, and brace-and-bit, certainly - they're all brilliant toys tools.

 

But a hand press drill?  Just don't get how you can work one without having three hands.

[somewhatfoolish]

You have to do it properly;

 

1. put a sharpened blank or scriber in the chuck.

2. wind it down, place the scriber point in the centre punched mark of the desired hole position and apply pressure.

3. clamp the work to the table.

4. replace scriber with drill bit and start drilling.

[AlabamaShrimp]

5. Throw the whole thing away and buy a proper one from the shop.

How about illuminated tyres? Goodyear tried this in 1961. The tyres were lit from 18 lamps within the wheel rim. Various colours of tyre too.

 

Am not sure what that lady is doing with that coiled cord.
